This should really be written in all caps in a font suited for titling a sci-fi movie in the '70s. That, or the one Cannibal Corpse uses. But it should suffice if you just read the following as if it were being voiced-over by Don LaFontaine.
In a world where you thought the snowboard film could not possibly get any. more. epic. this one comes along to blow the hinges off every idea you've ever had about snowboarding or making a movie. You want blood? There will be blood. Flowing, golden hair blowing wildly? Unleash those locks. 360s, a pow slash, slow-mo up a bootpack and a score that rivals Lawrence of Arabia? Yes. Yes. Yes. And yes.
From the makers of other, snow-filled moving pictures and some BMW commercials, comes STANCE—a movie that shows what can be possible when you puts girls and cameras and snowboards in the same room at the same time when that room happens to be filled with snow and located outdoors. Shot entirely without one of those handheld digi cams, STANCE: The Trailer features expensive-looking cinematography with clouds in time-lapse, mountains in Panavision and sunsets—lots and lots of sunsets. Starring shred mavens Gretchen Bleiler, Jamie Anderson and others, and featuring a cameo by a moose, STANCE is not named CANTSE for a reason. These girls CAN ride. Just ask the horses dining at sunrise.
According to the countdown clock on their website, STANCE is coming soon to a theater near you sometime in the next 185 days, 12 hours, 4 minutes and 55 seconds. Brace yourself, before it's too late.
